NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Lipscomb women’s basketball team looks to close the regular season on a high-note Saturday when USC Upstate visits Allen Arena for a 1 p.m. Atlantic Sun matchup.

The Lady Bisons also want to send the seniors out with a win.

O’Neisha Smith and Jess Reece will be taking part in their final game in front of the home crowd.

Lipscomb enters the contest at 6-22 overall, 3-14 in league play.

The Lady Bisons are fresh off a 76-74 victory over ETSU.

Sara Bliss drained a go-ahead 3-pointer with 15 seconds to play to help Lipscomb to its first win over the Bucs in 15 tries. The win also clinched the No. 8 seed for the Lady Bisons in the A-Sun Championship next week.

Lipscomb got double-digit scoring from four players, led by Ashley Southern. With her 27-point performance, Southern is now the second-leading scorer in the A-Sun at 16.1 per game.

Saturday’s contest with USC Upstate (15-13, 10-7) will be the 14th meeting in Lipscomb’s NCAA era. The Spartans hold a 10-3 advantage in the all-time series, including a 96-69 victory in Spartanburg on Jan. 4.

The Spartans are led offensively by Brittany Clency’s 11.6 points per game. Brittany Starling adds 10.4 points and a team-leading 7.8 rebounds per contest.

Southern enters the matchup just one double-double shy of tying the A-Sun’s single season record of 21.

Following Saturday’s game, the Lady Bisons will be traveling to face the winner of FGCU and Stetson on Saturday, in the first round of the A-Sun Championship on Tuesday.
